There are three things to consider about noise: HOW LOUD, HOW LONG & HOW CLOSE

1. How loud: Noises in excess of 85 decibels are considered by qualified audiologists to be in the danger zone for hearing health. Eliminate unwanted noise and keep television, stereo and radio at a low or moderate.volume.

2. How long: Try to limit the amount of time you are exposed to loud noises.

3. How close: If you are in a noisy environment, close to the noise source, protect your hearing with devices such as earplugs.

Remember, the best way to avoid noise-induced hearing loss is to work on prevention early in life.
